During graduate school we lean heavily on our Principal Investigators (PIs) to provide us guidance on our projects and experiments. And while PIs can be great mentors in this regard, that doesn’t mean they are great mentors in all areas of a student’s career development, especially if the student wants to pursue a job outside of academia.

For high-achieving science majors, it’s almost expected that they pursue some sort of graduate education, whether that be an M.D., Ph.D., Pharm.D., Master’s, etc. Decades ago, you could probably make a strong argument that yes – a graduate degree would open significantly more doors for you in the life sciences. In recent years, though, as the industry and job market continue to grow and change, this is not necessarily the case. Jobseekers from all over are finding careers in biotech, biopharma, and medtech that are not only fulfilling, but also have immense opportunities for career growth. Biomanufacturing and Quality Control/Assurance are just a few notable examples.

Flow cytometry is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and important lab techniques needed for cell therapy work. We can use fluorescent markers to track how well viruses are transfecting cells with the genes needs to create CAR T cells. Cells can be labeled with a plethora of antibodies to get a precise characterization of cell type distribution in a sample. We can get a before-and-after screenshot of how a cell population responds to certain stimuli and how they differentiate, and we can also assess the health of cells and whether they’re proliferating or dying.
The pandemic changed—and continues to change—how people work, how they think about work and how employers and job seekers negotiate employment offers and compensation packages.
